ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find a tower of strength that you can lean on. It might be wise to hang onto the shirttails of a local mover and shaker. Your closest companions could become involved in an engrossing and successful undertaking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Duty might weigh down the wings of love. The question is whether a certain connection is a commitment or a ball and chain. Once you know who you can trust and who you can’t, you’ll attain peace of mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Hold onto opportunities when they fall in your lap. This is a good day to make important phone calls or ask others to fulfill their promises. You may need to use some sweet, syrupy phrases to get your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take steps to guarantee your future success. Put plans into motion. This is a good day to ask for favors or for advice. Don’t fritter your money on tasteless, overpriced items.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Indulge your senses and sensibilities. Give in to the urge to take a brief time out. Treat yourself to a new outfit or lunch with friends. Enjoy having the ability to spread the wealth around and pamper yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Find the proper balance when juggling conflicting priorities. Your desire for a different relationship may grow if you sense that someone doesn’t trust you. You may yearn to experiment in order to grow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): One good turn deserves another. Believe in the sincerity of others and your trust won’t be misplaced. You may have the opportunity to straighten out a rocky romantic situation or a misunderstanding with a friend.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Unlike chickens, when your ducks are in a row they’ll have a solid purpose for waddling across the road. You have a talent for blending dynamic planning and action with strong organizational skills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Follow the lead of your partner. Don’t spend money or invest in capricious ideas unless you first run them past your best mate or wisest advisor. Other people may have the wisdom and good taste you lack.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can’t grow dreams in sterile ground. Let your creative imagination operate in more fertile areas by making time for by reading, viewing fine art and listening to music. Soak up some culture.

IF JUNE 25 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The only way to build muscles is to use them, and you have the ability to strengthen yourself both physically and mentally during the next three to four weeks. August through early September is the best time to launch important plans or to make crucial changes. You’ll be wiser and luckier than usual. Those with your best interests at heart will grow closer. Don’t buy into a new romance or investment in late September, when you might not see the strings attached. Lie low during October, when your work could be held up to scrutiny and every little thing you begin could lead to extra work or obligations. AMX-2015-05-21T15:00:00-04:00
